![]() You can take it seriously and try to win, or you can run around picking up horse dung and throwing it at people.īut, at least at launch, it’s also plagued with matchmaking bugs-especially when trying to play with friends-that often make it more frustrating than fun. It’s bloody and brutal, but it’s also full of cheeky, Monty Python–inspired humor and the kinds of emergent gameplay moments that will leave you in stitches. The combat is easy enough to learn, but there are enough advanced maneuvers to make every encounter interesting. ![]() When Chivalry II works, I absolutely love it. But on console, when you take a step back using the free-floating death cam in Chivalry II, you see a beautiful landscape of destruction being created by a bunch of controller players who have no idea what they’re doing, especially if you turn off cross-play matchmaking. The original Chivalry is, frankly, not so great to look at, and Mordhau’s zippy keyboard-and-mouse gameplay makes it look like you’re fast-forwarding through the Battle of the Bastards. But neither of those games really make you want to take a step back and look at the carnage unfolding around you. And there’s the more recent Mordhau, which is kind of like a spiritual successor to the original Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. I know that Chivalry II isn’t the only game like this on the market. In Chivalry II, you’re one of 64 soldiers all wailing on one another with swords and axes and halberds until someone’s head falls off. Even without a Ph.D in history, I’m pretty sure that wasn’t a thing that happened.īut there is something genuine in Chivalry II that you don’t see in games like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, where you’re cast as the hero and are meant to be able to kill hundreds and thousands of soldiers during the course of your journey. But also, in Chivalry II, you can kill someone in full armor by chucking a cabbage at them. First off, I’m not an expert on medieval combat, so I can’t really say what’s realistic and what’s not. Chivalry 2 also supports cross-generational upgrades from current gen versions when you upgrade to a PlayStation 5 system.I’m not going to say that Chivalry II is a more “realistic” representation of medieval combat than we see in most video games.
